Nice!http://www.osnews.com/thread?367871
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367871This is what I've been waiting for. I actually had made some fairly minor progress doing something similar myself. Open Solaris core + Gui + Gnu tools = my next Desktop os.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:31:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Bill Shooter of Bul)CommentsStorm-LINUX - Hail! ??http://www.osnews.com/thread?367909
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367909Some years ago, around 2001, I got into the Linux/Unix world. My first Linux server ran Storm-Linux version "Hail!". It was some Debian derivative.
The funny thing is the name, which is very identical to this new Solaris-Ubuntu-merge.

Why is it called StormOS, and why particular "Hail" as the version?
Are there any kind of relations to this old (surely dead by now) Storm-Linux?Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:39:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (lasg.dk)CommentsAsk yourself the questionhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367911
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367911What associations would exist in your mind if it were called "InternationaleOS" and the first expression of it were named "Comrade"? Just work out the opposite and you might want to reconsider

http://www.osnews.com/thread?367959That would only work in English as a pun. The Nazi greeting was 'heil' not hail. Even as a joke, that's sort of in bad taste.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:16:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Bill Shooter of Bul)CommentsRE[2]: Ask yourself the questionhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367965
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367965Well, it was not meant as a joke in bad taste - if I can make this connection, so can others, and it might be advisable therefore to call it something else. We've just had the BNP voted in here - call me oversensitive if you wish but rebranding might be in order.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:42:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (orfanum)CommentsRE: Storm-LINUX - Hail! ??http://www.osnews.com/thread?367966
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367966Hi everyone (I'm new here),
I just found that: http://www.stormos.org/node/14
I must admit I had similar associations as orfanum.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:53:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (chrispy)CommentsRE[3]: Ask yourself the questionhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367983
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367983Yeah, I'd call the critique over sensitive. I wouldn't change it. I don't even know if I fully understand it. What does storm have to do with the nazis? Would obeying the general rule just ban the word "hail" from any product/service?

Microsoft had a similar code name for the .net web services "hailstorm". Did that lead anyone to label Microsoft anti-semetic? No. No one even thought of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HailstormThu, 11 Jun 2009 17:12:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Bill Shooter of Bul)CommentsRE: Nice!http://www.osnews.com/thread?368065
http://www.osnews.com/thread?368065Just tried MilaX 0.4 in VirtualBox, and was impressed how well it worked. Haven't tried installing it for real though.Fri, 12 Jun 2009 01:09:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (pepa)Comments
